I was able to get these patches applied fine and the functionality is working
in that it warns me of invalid email addresses. Unfortunately it also warns me
of one pattern I know to be valid, although it's somewhat unusual:

username+filter at example.com

( I learned of this pattern from this Gmail tip:
http://www.divergentstudio.com/georgeswonderblog/2008/0705/technology/computers-and-computer-related/email/custom-gmail-email-address-spam-and-filtering/
)

In the short term I'd like to see this patch modified to allow this pattern. In
the long term I think we should user a single javascript library to handle all
client-side validation:
